The first speaker is WAY OFF BASE.! And when your child or grandchild ends up in a strangers car never to be seen again, then what.? You’re speaking to the audience as if this is an oddity, a once in a 17000 chance. Children being abducted is more common than you might believe. I believe that’s how the Amber Alert was started. Think about it …

Such an interesting lineup of talks! Parenting isn’t about being perfect, it’s about giving children space to grow, learn, and discover independence. Sometimes what looks ‘unconventional’ can actually be the most powerful lesson a child carries for life. Excited to hear all four perspectives

Kids grow most when trusted with independence, not constant supervision.
